I don’t use a dresser, and my closet is all hanging space with no built ins. Rather than move a dresser into the closet, I have an open shelving unit that goes from floor to rod height. (I use two to get the width I want) I also have the plastic drawer shelving unit that goes to mid height (under hung shirts) for underwear, socks, pj’s, etc. You can buy however many drawers you want to stack to the height you need. I have extra drawers that fit on the open shelves that I use for things like swimsuits, underlayers, etc. (I guess you can just use bins as well.

For the shelves, I just used the kind you would use in your basement or garage. It doesn’t look fancy, but I wanted to check out the set up before committing to built ins and then just never upgraded. I love that I can see everything all at once without opening multiple drawers and I can make as many “stacks” as I want, so it’s much more flexible than having a set number of drawers.
